Saudi Arabia Pioneers Blockchain Real Estate Tokenization Under Vision 2030
Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 is accelerating the digital transformation of its real estate sector through blockchain-based tokenization. Fractional ownership of high-value properties, previously accessible only to large investors, is now possible via digital tokens. The Real Estate Registry has established a national infrastructure for blockchain registration, property fractionalization, and marketplace integration, enabling faster and more transparent transactions.
Tokenization is reshaping how real estate value and income potential are shared. These tokens represent ownership stakes, rental income rights, and profit-sharing opportunities, all tradable with low investment barriers. Saudi investors must navigate Zakat rules, while VAT and RETT implications hinge on token classification. Foreign investors face potential corporate or withholding taxes on returns.
